    im wondering if it will be possible to migrate an XPS gen 2 cooling system that is copper based into a i9300... ive noticed that the i9300 is aluminum based and i want some more cooling power so i can overclock the gfx card safely... anyone got any ideas on this?

    Also, not as imortant, but i also want to upgrade my proc (pentium m 730) to a 760 or 770 later on down the road. just wondering if this is a simple task of popping off the keyboard, seating a new proc and putting it all back together again, or if the proc is soldered onto the mobo...

    Why do you want to overclock your card? That thing should be able to handle HL2 and Doom 3 with High settings and no problems. Unless your playing Battlefield 2 (like myself). Then I totally understand you.
